Healthy Development

Children 4-12 years(Elementary School-aged)

Promoting the healthy development of children and helping children reach their full potential are both key goals for the province. The Department of Health and Wellness supports many strategies across the lifespan and in homes, schools, and communities. We strive to create healthy public policies, standards, programs and services that will promote and protect the health of Nova Scotian children now and in the future.
